Allford challenges list naming 'Europe's 40 most important' emerging architects

摘要

Architecture Foundation chairman Simon Allford has challenged the credibility of rankings claiming to list the 40 'most important' emerging architects in Europe. Allford raised questions about the judging criteria and procedures of the 'Europe 40 under 40' awards after only one British designer was named among the winners. London-based Scott Kyson was the sole UK entrant in the rankings, compiled by the Dublin-based European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.
